Back in the 1800s Hooksett, New Hampshire milk man John
Burbank sold his wife’s jars of ketchup to his customers along his usual route.
It was so popular he went into the
ketchup business and sold his product all over the region.

This factory was located about where the Wendy’s fast food
restaurant now stands on Route 3 near the intersection with the Londonderry Turnpike (Bypass Route 28). The ketchup factory operated from 1888 to
1913. The Burbank farmhouse was
demolished in 1996. The automobile dealer
called Auto-Torium, a nearby business, sponsored the historical marker to the town
of Hooksett, New Hampshire. Hooksett has a busy historical society, and a large number of historical markers around town. This one catches my eye every time I'm driving on Route 3, so I finally stopped to get a photo.
